JDK 7
The primary goal of this Project is to produce an open-source
implementation of the next major revision of the Java SE
Platform.
Detailed information on the approved features, as well as
information on how to propose additional features, can be found on
the features page. The JDK 7
development schedule is divided into a sequence of milestone cycles. Please see the builds and integrations page for detailed build and
integration scheduling. A complete calendar
of the entire development timeline is also available.
Status: Milestone 4 complete, work on Milestone 5 underway
No showstoppers were identified in build 66, so we declared that
to be the final build for M4.
We'll start stabilizing Milestone 5 at build 72, which opens on
2009/8/28. M5 will be complete on or about 2009/9/10.

Milestones
The JDK 7 development schedule is divided into a sequence of
milestone cycles, each six to seven weeks in length. There will be
no formal beta or early-access releases, as in the past. Major
features and other potentially-destabilizing changes will targeted
for integration early in a specific milestone. For more
information, please see the current draft of the JDK 7
Development Process.
Here is the current high-level milestone schedule, with the
features targeted to each cycle:
The final milestone cycle, M8, will be followed by a
release-candidate period of indeterminate length, but most likely
four to eight weeks, after which the final release will be
declared.
Some features have been approved for the
release but are not yet targeted to a specific milestone. When they
are targeted then they'll be added to the above table.
